-The Significant 12-
Welcome to the final part of our series!
I hope my personal experiences with the Holy Spirit in Healing, Deliverance, Growth, Excitement, Hope, and Transformation have inspired and motivated you in your spiritual life and walk with God.
Its December the 12th month and just like the ancient Israelites, I have crossed the river Jordan and landed on dry ground, and I am now standing on the twelfth stone…………….. amazing!
I need to take a moment to catch my breath. Crossing the Jordan has not been easy, with each step pushing me to face new challenges, hurdles, and breakthroughs.
So what happens next? Let’s explore the next direction given by Yahweh (God) to the Israelites…
-The Key Scriptures-
The Gathering
Yahweh (God) had promised me that 2022 would be a significant and remarkable year for me, full of purpose and meaning, a year that deserved my full attention and contemplation as I reflected on the meaning and purpose of life in Christ.
God truly fulfilled this promise for me, I have been changed, refreshed, and reformed!
I understand more than ever that, like Moses, Joshua, and the Israelites who preceded us, we all require God’s presence (The ark of the Tabernacle) in every phase of our lives.
Just like how the Lord commanded the 12 tribes of Judah to collect the significant memorial stones placed in the Jordan when the Israelites crossed over, I have now gathered my own stones, learnt my lessons and drawn closer to God in ways I never before thought possible!
BUT NOW WHAT?
So here I am standing on the other side of the Jordan in December, elated but exhausted, at a bit of a loss actually! My heads racing with questions. I pray and fast with my prayer partner and we realise together its official we have finally landed in………..
……….The Promise Land (Israel)
The land of fruit and honey!
The place where Jesus was born, raised and died!
The place where Jesus’s second coming will be!
The place where one day all nations will be gathered!
The place where we would truly connect with our new identity in Christ
THE PLACE WE WOULD ONE DAY CALL HOME!
As I finally lay my 12 stones down at the foot of the mountain I realise this is a really special moment, a moment to be grateful, a moment to give thanks, and a moment to rest, reflect and recharge as the Christmas season approaches.
I am so grateful to God for getting me through the past 12 months and even the years before that!
There is a new story to tell and another journey to make to collect my promises one by one.
This NEW journey has only just begun, but I pray that as this part of the journey ends that you will continue to follow me into new heights and new adventures.
Over the next 12 months I hope to introduce you to not only a new set of stones, but also some of my new friends (from different tribes) as they climb their own mountains, share there experiences and birth their own dreams as part of Life Essence Ministry.
Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad,
Issachar, Manasseh, Naphtali, Reuben,
Simeon, Zebulun, Judah and Benjamin
There is much more to be revealed to me by God and also to you!
As the revelation continues I pray you will be truly blessed with what is birthed within Life Essence over the next 12 months
-Praise & Worship-
Praise and adoration play a critical role in communing with God. I invite you to unite with me in honouring our King of Kings, for He is eternally holy and the foundation of all time.

-Reflection and Meditation-
As you think about this blog and others in the series, you’ve likely considered your own life and whether you’ve encountered God. You might be wondering how to share your beliefs, where you are in your spiritual journey, or if you should invite God into your 2024 plans.
The great news is that God is always accessible!
You can talk to and welcome him into your life and situation anytime. There is no need to wait for New Year’s Eve, a special event, or even until you feel you have it all sorted! 2024 is approaching, so it is the ideal time to do so!
Ask, Seek, Knock 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
(Matthew 7:7-8)
I hope that everything I have shared over the past 12 months has given you comfort, encouragement and motivation that has come at just the right time.
I pray my story has been a genuine testament to God’s work and the multitude of wonderful things He is capable of doing, and I hope that you feel inspired to record and express your own experiences in a way that works for you.
I pray that you will be blessed, filled with the Holy Spirit, healed, delivered, and inspired to grow and have hope.
The best is yet to come!
